Hey guys,
Kinda new to cheatengine, but have been reading a lot about games that come with anti-cheat, anti-debug measures.
Now I read about CE supporting VEH debugging, I am kinda curious on how that work, I am more an Olly user but there are no plugins for Olly working on Windows 8, and I noticed on Bioshock Infinite the VEH debugger on Windows 8 works just fine.
How are the hardware breakpoints being set?
Using GetThreadContext, SetThreadContext ?
